Cloud Software – Will I save costs? It’s all about Optionality and Time to Market

Moving to the cloud is typically not a simple ‘cost’ decision for a software maker or software buyer. Moving to the cloud is a very different set of cash flows and risk transfers. If done properly, moving to the cloud can improve future profitability because it provides optionality for both the software maker and buyer to respond to market changes in a much shorter time frame. This optionality in turn providers faster time to market for new products or services at various price points and service levels. With many new and emerging technologies following rapid exponential growth curves, optionality and time to market are critical not only for rapid growth, but staying in business in difficult market conditions. In this post, we’ll explain the scale of the improvement in Time to Market for delivering new software and functionality.
